California Department of EducationExecutive OfficeSBE-002 (REV. 11/2017)memo-ssb-csd-jun18item01MEMORANDUMDATE:June 1, 2018TO:MEMBERS, State Board of EducationFROM:TOM TORLAKSON, State Superintendent of Public InstructionSUBJECT:Academic Progress of State Board of Education-Authorized Charter SchoolsSummary of Key IssuesThis Information Memorandum provides a summary of the academic progress of State Board of Education (SBE)-authorized charter schools for the 2016–17 school year. As the charter authorizer, the SBE provides oversight monitoring of the charter schools it authorizes. The SBE has delegated this responsibility to the California Department of Education (CDE), and under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding between the SBE and each SBE-authorized charter school, the CDE reviews the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) English language arts (ELA)/literacy and mathematics academic test results of those SBE-authorized charters that were open during the 2016–17 school year and that administered the CAASPP in the spring of 2017. Additionally, the CDE reviews the California Accountability Model and School Dashboard data. In the course of oversight monitoring, if the CDE finds that a charter school did not make satisfactory academic progress, the CDE may provide recommendations to the SBE to take appropriate action, as deemed necessary, including issuing a notice of violation or revocation.All SBE-authorized charter schools in operation and serving pupils in grade three through grade eight and/or eleven, must administer the CAASPP in the spring of each year. In 2016–17, the following SBE-authorized charter schools were in operation and administered the CAASPP:Academia Avance CharterAnahuacalmecac International University Preparatory of North AmericaAudeo Charter llBarack Obama CharterBaypoint Preparatory AcademyHigh Tech Elementary Chula VistaHigh Tech Elementary North CountyHigh Tech High Chula VistaHigh Tech High North CountyHigh Tech Middle Chula VistaHigh Tech Middle North CountyMagnolia Science Academy Santa AnaNew West CharterOlive Grove CharterParamount Collegiate Academy (School closed in February 2018; no information is included)Ridgecrest CharterSchool of Arts and EnterpriseThrive PublicThe following SBE-authorized charter schools were not in operation in 2016–17 and did not administer the CAASPP:Celerity Himalia CharterCelerity Rolas CharterGrossmont SecondaryRoss Valley CharterSweetwater SecondaryThe following SBE-authorized charter schools were in operation in 2016–17, but did not serve pupils in grade three through grade eight and/or grade eleven and therefore, did not administer the CAASPP:OnePurposePrepa Tec Los Angeles HighRocketship Futuro AcademyThe New School of San FranciscoAcademic Progress of SBE-Authorized Charter SchoolsFor the purposes of preparing this summary report, the CDE considered whether SBE-authorized charter schools that administered the CAASPP Met Progress or did Not Meet Progress based on the 2016–17 CAASPP test results for ELA/literacy and mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment. The CDE reviewed the schoolwide percentage for all grades that fell below Standard Not Met and determined whether that percentage exceeded the State’s Achievement Level Distribution percentage by greater than 15 percentage points.Additionally, the CDE determined which SBE-authorized charters were or were not making satisfactory progress in one or more Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) priorities, both schoolwide and by pupil subgroups. In making this determination the CDE reviewed the 2016–17 California School Dashboard data based on inadequate change in Average Distance from Level 3 in either ELA/literacy and/or mathematics.Schools predominantly within the red and orange academic indicator bands are not considered to be making adequate academic progress. SBE-authorized charter schools that predominantly fall within blue, green, and yellow are considered to be making adequate progress.For the purposes of this Memorandum, each SBE-authorized charter school Board chair and administrator received a request from the CDE to provide an optional written response regarding their review of the fall 2017 Dashboard results, identifying areas of greatest progress and areas of greatest need. Additionally, each charter school was asked to provide a summary of performance in Element Two: Measurable Pupil Outcomes and Element Three: Method for Measuring Pupil Outcomes of the charter petition. With the exception of The New School of San Francisco and OnePurpose, all SBE-authorized charter schools provided this document; each document is an attachment to this Memorandum.SBE-Authorized Charter Schools Determined to Have Not Met Adequate ProgressLetter of Academic ConcernOf the schools that were in operation and that administered the CAASSP, the following SBE-authorized charter schools are determined to have not met adequate academic progress in LCFF priorities and exceeded the Standard Not Met percentage of the State’s Achievement Level Distribution percentage by greater than 15 percentage points; the CDE issued these charter schools a Letter of Academic Concern:Academia Avance CharterAnahuacalmecac International University Preparatory of North AmericaOn February 21, 2018, the CDE issued Letters of Academic Concern to the Governing Board of the charter with a request for corrective action and to provide additional documentation including, but not limited to, the process by which the Board will review Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals and analyze 2017 pupil data including how the Board will consult with stakeholders, the specific actions the Board will take to address changes to curriculum, curriculum materials, instructional practices, the daily school schedule, methods for measuring pupil progress, the charter’s formative and/or benchmark assessments, Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Interim Assessments, staffing, professional development, and the Board’s goals for change in Average Distance from Level 3 for each subgroup indicator.Upon receipt, the CDE reviewed the charter Board’s corrective action plan and additional documentation provided and issued a follow-up letter to the charter Board.
